Definitions
- the present invention relates to an asphalt paving mix suitable for use at ambient temperatures and, more specifically, to an asphalt paving mix formed of new aggregate, new asphalt, recycled asphalt concrete, and practically nonvolatile additive oil.
- Some asphalt mixes have been proposed in the past, which include new aggregate and new asphalt, and are suitable for paving at ambient temperatures.
- the new aggregate is heated, and heated new asphalt is added to produce a heated asphalt composition.
- a mixture of new aggregate and recycled aggregate, which is obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete has been used, and heated asphalt is added to produce a heated asphalt composition.
- a suitable amount of volatile oil such as heavy oil, light oil, or kerosene, is added to soften the asphalt, so that the resulting asphalt mix will not congeal and solidify immediately after returning to an ambient temperature.
- recycled asphalt concrete used in this type of mix is obtained by peeling off a roadbed surface, the quality of recycled asphalt concrete tends to vary and, often, is poor.
- poor quality recycled asphalt concrete is used to form an asphalt mix, the mix may not be suited to form a sufficiently strong and stable pavement.
- recycled asphalt concrete is often excessively oxidized and becomes as stiff as a cement pavement material and, thus, may lack elasticity required to form a suitable asphalt pavement material.
- Such asphalt mix preferably should also be environmentally friendly. Further, the quality of such asphalt mix preferably should not depend solely on the quality of recycled asphalt concrete, which often tends to be poor.
- the present invention provides an improved asphalt mix and a process of making the same, which overcome many if not all of the disadvantages associated with the prior art asphalt mixes as described above.
- the asphalt mix includes new aggregate and new asphalt, which are mixed together at a high temperature so that the asphalt covers the surfaces of the new aggregate.
- the mix further includes recycled aggregate obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete at an ambient temperature to such an extent that each aggregate grain of the recycled asphalt concrete will retain some asphalt on its surface.
- the recycled aggregate is mixed with the new aggregate covered with the new asphalt to form an asphalt composition, lowering the overall asphalt composition temperature to, at the maximum, approximately 100° C.
- additive oil is mixed to complete the asphalt mix.
- the additive oil has a low vapor pressure so as to be practically nonvolatile.
- the oil has mutual solubility with asphalt.
- the present invention provides an improved asphalt mix.
- the mi includes new aggregate including, for example, sand and crushed stones, and new asphalt.
- the mix also includes recycled aggregate obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete to such an extent that each aggregate grain of recycled asphalt concrete will retain recycled asphalt on its surface.
- the new aggregate and the new asphalt are heated (for example, 150°-160° C.) so that when the two are mixed together, the heated asphalt will cover the surfaces of the new aggregate.
- the recycled aggregate at an ambient temperature is mixed to form an asphalt composition, and to lower the overall asphalt composition temperature to, at the maximum, approximately 100° C.
- additive oil is mixed to complete the mix.
- the additive oil has a low vapor pressure, and preferably has a flashpoint higher than approximately 200° C. so as to be practically nonvolatile.
- the oil has mutual solubility with asphalt.
- Recycled aggregate is obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete at ambient temperatures, wherein each aggregate grain is sized sufficiently so as to retain some asphalt on its surface. Because the asphalt on these recycled aggregate is typically aged by weathering, it is typically stiffer than virgin asphalt. When a prescribed amount of the oil is added, the stiffened asphalt on recycled aggregate tends to swell easily without becoming softened excessively. It has been found that recycled aggregate grains sized to pass through a 13 mm sieve, which is a standard grain size as prescribed by the Japanese Ministry of Construction, work well in the present invention. It should be noted, though, that those skilled in the art may readily determine other recycled grain sizes that may be suitably used in accordance with the present invention. For example, to form a base asphalt concrete, recycled aggregate grains that pass through a 20 mm sieve may be preferable.
- New aggregate is preheated so that, when the new aggregate and heated new asphalt (both typically at a temperature between 150° C. and 160° C.), are thoroughly mixed together (typically for approximately one minute, for example), the heated new asphalt covers the surfaces of the new aggregate.
- the new aggregate thus covered with the new asphalt is mixed with recycled aggregate that is at an ambient temperature (typically for approximately 15 seconds, for example)
- the temperature of the resulting asphalt composition will be lowered to a temperature, at the maximum, approximately 100° C.
- the temperature of the resulting asphalt composition is preferably closer to an ambient temperature.
- a prescribed amount of additive oil is mixed with the asphalt composition thus formed, the asphalt on the aggregate surfaces will be swollen.
- the additive oil to be mixed with the aggregate has a mutual solubility with asphalt, so that asphalt covering the surfaces of the aggregate can be swollen easily. Further, the additive oil is practically nonvolatile so that the swollen state of the asphalt can be maintained for a long period, without causing the asphalt on the aggregate surfaces to congeal together.
- the swelling of the asphalt on the aggregate surfaces should be sufficient to allow the swollen asphalt on each aggregate surface to intermingle with, and adhere to, the swollen asphalt on adjacent aggregate surfaces when the asphalt mix is firmly compacted at an ambient temperature.
- the asphalt mix comprising the asphalt swollen with additive oil
- the aggregate grains compact themselves together, eliminating any space therebetween and further deforming and bonding together the swollen asphalt on the aggregate surfaces.
- the swollen asphalt functions as a binder to bond the aggregate firmly together, to create a paving surface having a sufficient hardness immediately after the completion of paving.
- the overall quality of the asphalt mix of the present invention may be easily improved by mixing a suitable amount of the new aggregate and new asphalt thereto. Further, even if the recycled asphalt concrete lacks sufficient elasticity to be suitable for forming an asphalt pavement, as long as the recycled aggregate is mixed with an appropriate amount of new aggregate and new asphalt, the resulting asphalt mix will have sufficient elasticity required for an asphalt paving material.
- the additive oils suitable for use in the present invention include petroleum hydrocarbons, animal/plant oils and fats, synthetic hydrocarbons, and synthetic esters.
- animal/plant oils and fats are subject to various adverse reactions and also tend to deteriorate easily and, thus, may not be preferable.
- Synthetic hydrocarbons and esters are both relatively expensive and may not be preferable either.
- petroleum hydrocarbons, further preferably heavy hydrocarbon oils having a flashpoint higher than approximately 200° C. are used as additive oils.
- additive oil having a lower viscosity it may be preferable to use additive oil having a higher viscosity.
- the viscosity of the additive oil also affects the degree of asphalt swelling. Considering all these factors, it has been found that additive oil having a kinematic viscosity of between approximately 20 and 200 (cSt. at 40° C.) is preferable. It has also been found that the kinematic viscosity in the range between approximately 40 and 120 (cSt. at 40° C.) appears to be optimum. In general, oil having a lower kinematic viscosity is preferred in the winter, and oil having a higher kinematic viscosity is preferred during the summer.
- the amount of additive oil to be added is determined based on the total amount of asphalt adhered to the surfaces of the new and recycled aggregate. When too much additive oil is used, relative to the total amount of asphalt on the aggregate surfaces, the asphalt will swell and soften excessively, thereby reducing the mutual cohesiveness between aggregate and, further, weakening the strength of the resulting pavement. If too little additive oil is used, the asphalt will not swell sufficiently, thereby also preventing adequate bonding between the aggregate even after firm compaction. Accordingly, it has been found that a preferable ratio of the additive oil to the asphalt retained on the aggregate is between approximately 0.15 and 0.50 by weight, further preferably between approximately 0.20 and 0.35.
- the composition ratio between the new aggregate and the recycled aggregate is determined based on the desired quality of the resulting asphalt mix, and also based on availability of recycled asphalt concrete, from which recycled aggregate is obtained. Also, if the recycled aggregate is of rather high quality (including approximately 5% by weight of asphalt), more recycled aggregate may be added to the new aggregate. If, on the other hand, the recycled aggregate is of poor quality, a reduced amount of recycled aggregate should be mixed with the new aggregate. Considering all these factors, it has been found that the ratio of new aggregate within the total asphalt mix is preferably between approximately 20% and 70% by weight, and further preferably between approximately 30% and 50% by weight.
- the new aggregate a mixture of coarse aggregate (crushed stones) and fine aggregate (sand), or fine or coarse aggregate alone, may be used.
- the new aggregate is sized similarly to the recycled aggregate as described above.
- the amount of new asphalt to be added should also increase, since more new asphalt will be needed to cover the surfaces of the new aggregate at least partially.
- the penetration of the new asphalt should be adjusted, also, according to the ratio of new aggregate within the total aggregate. In the present description, penetration is defined according to the convention, as the depth that a needle having a prescribed configuration may plunge into when a vertical load of 100 g is applied for 5 seconds at 25° C. When more new aggregate is used, the penetration of new asphalt to be added should be lessened, and vice versa.
- the new asphalt (petroleum asphalt) to be used preferably has a penetration of between approximately 20 and 120 ( ⁇ fraction (1/10) ⁇ mm at 25° C.). It should be noted that those skilled in the art may readily determine a preferred level of penetration, based in part on geographical and temperature considerations.
- the performance or quality of the asphalt mix of the present invention depends on the total amount of asphalt included within the mix. If there is too little asphalt, the mix will produce an asphalt concrete with insufficient strength, which easily crumbles or cracks. On the other hand, if too much asphalt is included in the mix, the resulting asphalt concrete will not have sufficient strength due to excessive plasticity.
- the total asphalt content of the asphalt mix includes both the recycled asphalt retained on recycled aggregate surfaces and the new asphalt added to the mix Accordingly, the amount of new asphalt to be added is determined based, in part, on the amount of recycled asphalt retained on recycled aggregate used and, ultimately, on the performance quality of the asphalt mix to be obtained. Specifically, it has been found that the amount of new asphalt is preferably between 4.5% and 6.5% by weight with respect to the new aggregate, so that the total asphalt amount including the asphalt retained on the recycled aggregate Will be preferably between 4% and 6% by weight of the final asphalt mix.
- the asphalt mix of the present invention may optionally include calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) powder as a filler.
- Calcium carbonate fills in the space between aggregate and, thus, is believed to increase the strength of resulting asphalt concrete after compaction. It is also believed to help prevent solidification of asphalt mix during storage.
- the amount of calcium carbonate powder to be added is preferably between approximately 3% and 10% by weight, and further preferably between approximately 5% and 7% by weight, of the total weight of the asphalt mix.
- the present invention also provides a process of forming the asphalt mix of the present invention as described above.
- the process provides heated new aggregate and heated new asphalt.
- the process mixes the two so that the heated asphalt will cover the surfaces of the new aggregate.
- the process further provides recycled aggregate obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete at an ambient temperature to such an extent that each recycled aggregate grain will retain at least some asphalt on its surface.
- the recycled aggregate is mixed with the heated new aggregate covered with the heated new asphalt to form an asphalt composition, lowering the overall asphalt composition temperature to, at the maximum, approximately 100° C., preferably as close as possible to an ambient temperature.
- the process further mixes a prescribed amount of additive oil to the asphalt composition, wherein the oil has a low vapor pressure so as to be practically nonvolatile.
- the additive oil also has mutual solubility with asphalt.
- the process finally mixes the additive oil with the asphalt composition so as to swell the asphalt on the aggregate surfaces with the oil, to allow the asphalt to amalgamate together when firmly compacted at an ambient temperature to form a pavement.
- calcium carbonate powder may be further added as a filler after the oil was added and the asphalt swollen.
- the present invention provides an improved asphalt mix for paving at ambient temperatures.
- the present asphalt mix is environmentally friendly, since the additive oil used in the present invention has a very low vapor pressure to be practically nonvolatile and, thus, the only volatile matter that may evaporate after application of the mix at a paving site will be virtually none, other than moisture.
- the asphalt mix of the present invention is suitable for forming asphalt concrete, which obtains sufficient stability instantly after compaction at ambient temperatures and, also, is suitable for long-term storage.
- New aggregate was mixed with heated new asphalt, and was further mixed with recycled aggregate obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete to form an asphalt composition.
- a prescribed amount of the oil in accordance with the present invention was added and further mixed rigorously.
- calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) powder was thereafter added as a filler material. One ton each of asphalt mix samples was thus produced.
- the Marshall stability test (ASTM D 1559-71) was conducted on each asphalt mix sample, and the results are shown in Table 1.
- One kilogram of each sample mix was rammed 50 times from one end, inverted, and again rammed 50 times from the other end in a specified cup, as prescribed in the Marshall stability test.
- the stability of the resulting test piece was then measured. According to the Marshall stability test, the test piece should be kept at 60° C. before measuring stability.
- the asphalt mix formed in accordance with the present invention is suitable for application at ambient temperatures
- the seven specimens shown in Table 1 were rammed at ambient temperatures, and their stability was then measured also at ambient temperatures.
- the stability test was also conducted on a prior art asphalt mix comprising only recycled aggregate obtained from crushing recycled asphalt concrete.
- Table 1 the amounts of recycled aggregate, new aggregate, calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ), new asphalt, and additive oil are shown in percentage by weight of the produced asphalt mix.
- a 1 indicates the weight percentage of the recycled asphalt retained on the recycled aggregate surfaces with respect to the weight of the recycled aggregate.
- the number included in parentheses (A 2 ) indicates the weight percentage of the new asphalt with respect to the weight of the new aggregate.
- a 3 indicates the weight percentage of the total asphalt, including the new asphalt and the recycled asphalt retained on recycled aggregate surfaces, with respect to the total aggregate including both new and recycled aggregate.
- the mixing rate of oil to asphalt indicates a value calculated by dividing the weight of additive oil by the total weight of asphalt in the mix.
- the stability value in the table signifies a stability level in kg/cm 2 as measured in accordance with the Marshall stability test.
- sample No. 1 was formed of high-quality recycled aggregate only, and its stability was above 600. This level of stability is sufficient to form a permanent pavement.
- Samples Nos. 2 and 3 were produced in accordance with the present invention by mixing 28% by weight of new aggregate with the recycled aggregate. Both samples demonstrated sufficient stability suitable for forming strong and stable pavements when applied at ambient temperatures.
- Sample No. 4 includes the same amount of recycled aggregate and new aggregate. Its stability was lower as compared to the previous samples, but was still comparable with the stability of those prior art asphalt mixes suitable for application at ambient temperatures.
- Samples Nos. 5 and 6 included recycled aggregate of relatively low quality, which included approximately as little as 4.3% by weight of asphalt within. With respect to sample No. 5, when only such poor-quality recycled aggregate was used, its stability was too low to guarantee a sufficiently strong paving surface.
- Sample No. 7 demonstrated a stability level of as high as 510 kg/cm 2 even without addition of calcium carbon.
- the asphalt mixes produced in accordance with the present invention in Table 1 were used to pave an actual road that experiences daily, heavy traffic. These pavements demonstrated fracture strength substantially similar to the strength of asphalt pavements formed with heated asphalt mixes, which were applied while hot.
